Just listen to the Podcast today. A lot of great info. Mr. Butcher is a busy man. Looking forward for his new projects.
Buy the way Podcast was GREAT. :)

Alright, First I'm a long time listener of the Butcher Block, long time fan of Jim Butcher, long time lurker on the forums, short time poster on the forums. I've wanted to mention this on the last episode but I got side tracked...
I might be the only one but I'm just not a fan of the new "slowed down" version. It sounds so unnatural to me... I guess I didn't have any issue with the faster talk speed in the first place, but the speaking rhythm just sounds alien now.
I love the Butcher Block though, I'm always shocked how much information is crammed into 15 minutes of content. You're doing great work, keep it up. :D

You're absolutely right about the "alien" quality of episode 2. I was fighting the pace the whole time, and the end result still makes me cringe a bit. I think I found a happy medium in episode 3, however. I'd be very interested to hear what you think about this version!

I've listened to Episode 3 and thats what reminded me to give my feedback. I think its better, but still unnatural sounding. Its hard to find the right pacing though. I record a podcast myself and constantly have to remind myself to not slur, or mumble. I noticed when I record myself I tend to talk faster and breath less then when I'm with the group having a conversation. Maybe if you tried to pretend you were just talking with someone instead of dictating you'd find yourself talking slower naturally.
If not, just talk slow and I'll just pretend ET is reading to me. I'm an easy audience to please. :D
